Introducing Color #2: From Hep Green to Reflecting Pool.
By Jane on March 8, 2010
After painting two coats of Sherwin William’s Hep Green Techno Color on the walls, I am very concerned. It’s TOO YELLOW GREEN. It looks nothing like the brochure. Calm down. It’s ok. Maybe you just have to get used to it. Plus, it’s time for the next color.

Big boobs aren’t all that. I’m loving my new mosquito bites.
By Jane on October 2, 2009
There are some benefits to having had that dreadful SWINE FLU. It’s the all-new Swine Flu Diet! Great results! Surprised that I’ve lost about 5 pounds in the last week, I’ve hit an all time low of 113! This is pretty insane for me since I haven’t been this small since I was like 12. Now, [...]

We’re having BBQ for lunch at our homeschool co-op today, provided by my fellow lunch lady, Laverne. Her husband smoked this pork for over 14 hours and it was extremely moist and tasty!

By Jane on August 11, 2010
That was the title of the article I came across this article on the homepage of Yahoo. You probably saw it too if Yahoo is your homepage. Click HERE for the article if you have’t seen it. However, before reading the article, I already knew the answer. Yes, I’m Mz. Smarty-pants Jane. “Rich” is not [...]

Asian Instant Ramen. A yummy, easy, quick meal. The kids love it too.
By Jane on December 22, 2009
I love instant noodles (aka ramen). It’s a fantastic and fast meal for when you are busy and don’t have time (or are too lazy) to cook. Being that we’re super busy, ramen for me is like an answer from heavan. Deciding what to cook all the time is so difficult. Sometimes you just want something [...]

Kwik Kwote: If only money came that easy…
By Jane on November 5, 2009
“Mommy, you just have to press a button and this thing gives you money?” -My ever-so-inquisitive Louise I was at the ATM getting some cash when Louise was just amazed that this machine spit out money before her eyes just from pressing a few buttons. She probably thought she discovered a new way to get [...]

Chinatown for a late dinner with Queen Latifa and the gang.
By Jane on July 8, 2010
After I say hi to my uncle and his family and unload our things at my uncle’s house in Mississauga, I head downtown to see my aunt Queen Latifa and my cousins. First thing we do? The girls and I have only eaten the snacks we packed and some junk food along the way so [...]

Besties Biking to get Books & Reading by the Stream.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
The next day and after the sleepover, I decide to take the girls to the library…oh yeah, and we’re biking to get there. I’m coming, I’m coming! The girls wave “hi” to passersby. So advanced in their young age. I could’t bike one-handed until a year ago.

Garden Show: Blooms Day for Mother’s Day.
By Jane on May 13, 2011
One of my favorite things to do with my Mom is to go to Garden Shows together so it was really nice to be able to go to our local Blooms Day for Mother’s Day. Both my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick opted out of this one. Go figure. The Garden Show is held on [...]

More pictures of Daddy and son. Dick loves taking naps with the baby. Especially with baby on his chest. Look at the lovely men in my life. Delish!! (Yes, Dick, thank you, thank you. I’m the luckiest woman in the world. Ugh.) Benz will have a most unpleasant and hairy surprise if he tried to [...]

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]

Your Daily Benz: Muscular Benz.
By Jane on January 15, 2012
Benz loves to stand and climb and gets quite the leg workout these days. He even goes so far as to stand on this tippy-toes. This is not ballet! Check out those swexy muscular calves! Daddy’s hoping these are soccer calves. -Jane, Mommy to Muscular Benz.

Sade’s New Video: Babyfather. Just the nostalgia I was talking about!
By Jane on May 6, 2010
Yet another great video introduced by my beloved Perez. It’s SADE’S new video for her latest release, Babyfather. The song is SPECTACULAR! Before this Album, Soldier of Love, Sade had not released an album since her hit, Lovers Rock. I loved this album! Sade’s voice is EFFORTLESS, SOOTHING and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The video is also [...]

Life is extremely busy for us these days. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad but…it is what it is and we’re rolling with the punches. There’s never a dull moment, at least not for me. The girls may disagree but, whatever, kids are always complaining about being bored. Well, today was definitely not [...]
